On the one side, everyone is entitled to go out and enjoy themselves – including professional athletes. However, if someone continually finds trouble, you have to at least start questioning their maturity level/decision-making.
In addition, the Sabres’ front office must be worried about what influence Kane could have on his teammates? The roster is developing a nice chemistry and the last thing they need is for anyone to compromise team morale.
The great shame about all this is the 2009 fourth overall draft pick is a very talented player, who is capable of having a major influence on the team’s fortunes. Pending the outcome of the charges against him, the Sabres will keep their fingers crossed that it is a positive one.
